With the spell lifted in Storybrooke, time has returned more or less to normal. Which means the city and its inhabitants experience, for the first time in decades, a full moon. Which means Ruby, a.k.a. Red, played by Meghan Ory, has a tough time of it. In this show's imaginative twist on the Red Riding Hood story, she's a werewolf.

Christina Ricci guest stars tonight, in this new episode, as standup comic who takes to national TV to get something off her chest – namely, her top. She bares herself on live TV, arguing afterward that she had a very good reason. And it’s an argument that becomes one of the firm’s newest cases, with F. Murray Abraham returning in his recurring role of opposing counsel.

Last week, this show featured another unexpected, emotionally moving death – one that rocks the usually stoic Rick, and has him acting a lot less reserved than usual.

You’d think James Cromwell would be causing enough trouble on TV these days as the heartless doctor on FX’s American Horror Story: Asylum. But even though he’s a regular there, the actor had enough time to also pop in on last week’s Boardwalk Empire episode, playing the wealthy and imposing Andrew Mellon (James Cromwell) in an episode that, like at least one other prime-time drama last Sunday, featured the sudden death of a beloved supporting character.

Last week’s show included two scenes that, much more than usual, strained credulity. Brody’s daughter, haunted by her boyfriend’s hit-and-run on a pedestrian, found the victim in a local hospital (how?) and talked to the woman’s daughter, just to learn that death was imminent. And in another scene, the terrorist’s tailor shop was being searched by the CIA when heavily armed and armored terrorists burst in, in broad daylight, and shot up the place. But both scenes, however improbable, enhanced the stakes for what will happen tonight, so let’s see what happens next.
